Adjusted operating margin of 18.4 percent was up 30 basis points from
the prior year.

Adjusted net income of $224 million, which excludes a preliminary
non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of $198 million and pre-tax
restructuring charges of $32 million, represents an increase of 5
percent compared to the prior year adjusted net income of $214 million.

Reported net income of $38 million, which reflects the previously
mentioned charges, represents a decrease of 81 percent compared to the
prior year reported net income of $194 million.

Adjusted EPS of $2.68 was 12 cents, or 5 percent, higher than the
prior year adjusted EPS of $2.56.

Reported EPS of 45 cents, which reflects the previously mentioned
charges, represents a decrease of 81 percent compared to the prior
year reported EPS of $2.32.

Adjusted EBITDA of $438 million, which represents a record and an 8
percent increase from the prior year, was 22 percent of sales and
covered interest expense over 10 times.

Record free cash flow of $295 million, which represents a 30 percent
increase from the adjusted prior year, was over 132 percent of
adjusted net income.

The Company completed the repurchase of 2.2 million shares of common
stock for $90 million in 2012.

Fourth Quarter 2012

New orders in the quarter totaled $482 million, up 8 percent from the
prior year period. Sales in the quarter totaled $491 million, 2 percent
higher than the prior year period. For the quarter, on an organic basis,
orders were 5 percent higher and sales were flat compared with the prior
year period.

In the fourth quarter, the Company recorded a preliminary non-cash
goodwill and intangible asset impairment charge of $198 million in its
Optics & Photonics and Water platforms. Excluding the impact of the
impairment charge and restructuring charges of $18 million, fourth
quarter 2012 operating income was $91 million. This resulted in an
adjusted operating margin of 18.5 percent, up 70 basis points from the
prior year adjusted operating margin, primarily due to productivity and
benefits from structural cost actions.

Excluding the impact of the above-mentioned charges, fourth quarter
adjusted earnings per share was 69 cents, an increase of 4 cents, or 6
percent, from the prior year.

Free cash flow was $79 million for the quarter, an 8 percent increase
from the adjusted prior year fourth quarter due to improved operating
working capital.

In the face of uncertain market conditions throughout 2012, our team
executed well. We delivered record free cash flow of $295 million, up
$69 million over last year, resulting in cash conversion of 132 percent.
Operationally, we reduced inventory by over $20 million from the prior
year. Our strong balance sheet and ability to convert cash allows us to
execute our capital deployment strategy.

In the fourth quarter we finalized our restructuring activities. No
further restructuring is currently planned. We will continue to drive
productivity through our proven operational excellence capabilities. Our
focus on cost reduction has allowed us to make growth-focused
investments while still netting a $12 million, or 10 cents of EPS,
benefit in 2013.

Difficult end market conditions resulted in impairment charges in our
Optics & Photonics and Water platforms. Throughout the year, we have
aggressively restructured both platforms and are well positioned to take
advantage of long-term growth opportunities.

As we enter 2013, our team is focused on executing our strategic
priorities. With over one billion dollars of capital availability, we
will continue to fund organic growth, while remaining committed to our
capital deployment objectives of strategic acquisitions, shareholder
dividends and share repurchases. Looking ahead, we see low- to
mid-single digit organic growth in 2013, with escalating growth in the
second half of the year.

On a regional basis, North America remains steady, the Asian markets are
improving, and we see stabilization in Europe. Based on this outlook,
for 2013 we are forecasting EPS of $2.85 to $2.95, up 6 to 10 percent
over 2012 adjusted EPS of $2.68. Our projected first quarter EPS is in
the range of 70 to 72 cents, up 6 to 9 percent.

Under U.S. GAAP, companies are required to conduct an annual impairment
test for each business, or more frequently if an event occurs or
circumstances change. An impairment charge is required when the fair
value is less than the carrying value of a business.

On February 1, 2013, the Company concluded that a significant non-cash
impairment charge was required in the fourth quarter of 2012 to reduce
the carrying value of goodwill and intangible assets within the Optics &
Photonics platform and goodwill and long-lived assets within the Water
platform. The goodwill at Optics & Photonics primarily originated from
the 2011 acquisition of CVI Melles Griot and the goodwill in the Water
platform primarily originated from the 2008 acquisitions of IETG and
ADS. As a result of our annual test, an impairment charge was required
within Optics & Photonics due to continued softness in the Optics &
Photonics end markets. In addition, we were required to perform an
interim impairment test in the Water platform due to the reorganization
of certain FMT businesses in the fourth quarter. This reorganization,
combined with continued softness in municipal end markets, contributed
to the impairment charge.

The Company currently estimates the pre-tax charge associated with this
impairment to be in the range of $198 to $238 million. An estimated
charge of $198 million has been included in the fourth quarter and
full-year operating results reported herein based on preliminary
valuation results. Pending the completion of these valuations and the
associated deferred tax asset impact, the charge will be finalized and
updated, if necessary, in the filing of the Company’s Form 10-K for the
period ended December 31, 2012.

EBITDA means earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation and
amortization, while free cash flow means cash flow from operating
activities less capital expenditures plus the excess tax benefit from
stock-based compensation. Management uses these non-GAAP financial
measures as internal operating metrics and for enterprise valuation
purposes. Management believes these measures are useful as analytical
indicators of leverage capacity and debt servicing ability, and uses
them to measure financial performance as well as for planning purposes.
However, they should not be considered as alternatives to net income,
cash flow from operating activities or any other items calculated in
accordance with U.S. GAAP, or as an indicator of operating performance.
The definitions of EBITDA and free cash flow used here may differ from
those used by other companies.

Blockchain. A day doesn’t seem to go by without seeing articles and discussions about the technology. According to PwC executive Seamus Cushley, approximately $1.4B has been invested in blockchain just last year. In Gartner’s recent hype cycle for emerging technologies, blockchain is approaching the peak. It is considered by Gartner as one of the ‘Key platform-enabling technologies to track.’ While there is a lot of ‘hype vs reality’ discussions going on, there is no arguing that blockchain is b...

Blockchain is a shared, secure record of exchange that establishes trust, accountability and transparency across business networks. Supported by the Linux Foundation's open source, open-standards based Hyperledger Project, Blockchain has the potential to improve regulatory compliance, reduce cost as well as advance trade. Are you curious about how Blockchain is built for business? In her session at 21st Cloud Expo, René Bostic, Technical VP of the IBM Cloud Unit in North America, discussed the b...

ChatOps is an emerging topic that has led to the wide availability of integrations between group chat and various other tools/platforms. Currently, HipChat is an extremely powerful collaboration platform due to the various ChatOps integrations that are available. However, DevOps automation can involve orchestration and complex workflows. In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 20th Cloud Expo, Himanshu Chhetri, CTO at Addteq, will cover practical examples and use cases such as self-provisioning infra...

"Storpool does only block-level storage so we do one thing extremely well. The growth in data is what drives the move to software-defined technologies in general and software-defined storage," explained Boyan Ivanov, CEO and co-founder at StorPool, in this SYS-CON.tv interview at 16th Cloud Expo, held June 9-11, 2015, at the Javits Center in New York City.

You know you need the cloud, but you’re hesitant to simply dump everything at Amazon since you know that not all workloads are suitable for cloud. You know that you want the kind of ease of use and scalability that you get with public cloud, but your applications are architected in a way that makes the public cloud a non-starter. You’re looking at private cloud solutions based on hyperconverged infrastructure, but you’re concerned with the limits inherent in those technologies.

Is advanced scheduling in Kubernetes achievable?Yes, however, how do you properly accommodate every real-life scenario that a Kubernetes user might encounter? How do you leverage advanced scheduling techniques to shape and describe each scenario in easy-to-use rules and configurations? In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 21st Cloud Expo, Oleg Chunikhin, CTO at Kublr, answered these questions and demonstrated techniques for implementing advanced scheduling. For example, using spot instances and co...

As Marc Andreessen says software is eating the world. Everything is rapidly moving toward being software-defined – from our phones and cars through our washing machines to the datacenter. However, there are larger challenges when implementing software defined on a larger scale - when building software defined infrastructure.
In his session at 16th Cloud Expo, Boyan Ivanov, CEO of StorPool, provided some practical insights on what, how and why when implementing "software-defined" in the datacent...

A strange thing is happening along the way to the Internet of Things, namely far too many devices to work with and manage. It has become clear that we'll need much higher efficiency user experiences that can allow us to more easily and scalably work with the thousands of devices that will soon be in each of our lives. Enter the conversational interface revolution, combining bots we can literally talk with, gesture to, and even direct with our thoughts, with embedded artificial intelligence, whic...

The cloud era has reached the stage where it is no longer a question of whether a company should migrate, but when. Enterprises have embraced the outsourcing of where their various applications are stored and who manages them, saving significant investment along the way. Plus, the cloud has become a defining competitive edge. Companies that fail to successfully adapt risk failure.
The media, of course, continues to extol the virtues of the cloud, including how easy it is to get there. Migrating...

The use of containers by developers -- and now increasingly IT operators -- has grown from infatuation to deep and abiding love. But as with any long-term affair, the honeymoon soon leads to needing to live well together ... and maybe even getting some relationship help along the way. And so it goes with container orchestration and automation solutions, which are rapidly emerging as the means to maintain the bliss between rapid container adoption and broad container use among multiple cloud host...

Imagine if you will, a retail floor so densely packed with sensors that they can pick up the movements of insects scurrying across a store aisle. Or a component of a piece of factory equipment so well-instrumented that its digital twin provides resolution down to the micrometer.

The need for greater agility and scalability necessitated the digital transformation in the form of following equation: monolithic to microservices to serverless architecture (FaaS). To keep up with the cut-throat competition, the organisations need to update their technology stack to make software development their differentiating factor.
Thus microservices architecture emerged as a potential method to provide development teams with greater flexibility and other advantages, such as the abili...

Previously, he worked for UBS investment bank in equities analysis. Later, he was responsible for the creation and distribution of life settle...

Product connectivity goes hand and hand these days with increased use of personal data. New IoT devices are becoming more personalized than ever before.
In his session at 22nd Cloud Expo | DXWorld Expo, Nicolas Fierro, CEO of MIMIR Blockchain Solutions, will discuss how in order to protect your data and privacy, IoT applications need to embrace Blockchain technology for a new level of product security never before seen - or needed.

As DevOps methodologies expand their reach across the enterprise, organizations face the daunting challenge of adapting related cloud strategies to ensure optimal alignment, from managing complexity to ensuring proper governance. How can culture, automation, legacy apps and even budget be reexamined to enable this ongoing shift within the modern software factory?

The nature of test environments is inherently temporary—you set up an environment, run through an automated test suite, and then tear down the environment. If you can reduce the cycle time for this process down to hours or minutes, then you may be able to cut your test environment budgets considerably.
